The rascallity and unfairness of
the administration press is aptly
illustrated in the Times Democrat
of last Tuesday. That paper de-
iberately quotes our comments
upon Gen. Nichols statement at
New Iberia. in which he said he
would not be an independent can
didate, and, by leaving out the
extract commented upon the I'D.
in great measure garbles our
language, and then defiantly asks
US to mention the occasion when
any such announcement was made
This is a cute trick, and we can
didly admit that it catches us al
badly as the Hill interview q shor'
time since. We admire cheek, and
appreciate q good thing, even if il
is "agin" us, but we don't believe

Gov. McEnery's Speech at Monroe
In speech last week at Monroe,
that occupies about fifteen columns
in the city papers, Gov. McEnery
makes general denial of the spe-
cifc accusations that have been
made against his administration,
and attempts to throw odium upon
Gen. Nichols by revamping all
the old chestnuts that have been
SO often exploded 1t will not do
for the governor to imagine that
he can befog the public by this
kind of counter accusation. Direct
answers are wanted to each specific
charge, and general denial will
not answer. Besides, it is not
true, as the governor claims, that
no accusations have been or can
be made against his administration.
| The reform movement exists to-
day simply and alone upon the
solid grounds for complaint against
Gov. McEnery, and the N. O.
Daily News gives utterance to
some of these grounds in the fol-
lowing list of questions
What says the governor to the
cry of labor--to the hungered APP
peal of wives and children for the
work sequestered from them and
thrown into the lap of the peni-
Tertiary ring? Is this large and
worthy class entitled to the serious
consideration Of the present power
What says the governor to the
Legislation which for eight years
has been increasing the civil Lists
and augmenting and complicatine
the cumbrous machinery of Statt
at vast outlay of money which
should be used for the State In
debtedness, simply to give recog
milton to wire-workers and politi
cal bummers
What does he say to the iro1
clad act which confiscates tn
property of the poor without du'
process Of law and permits TIL
rich to compound with the asses
sors for their discharge by tn
payment of nominal amount
which practically throws the Who'll
weight of sustaining the govern
